Who Would Have Guessed?

Talk about coincidence! One of our Lauren Hutton Face Disc customers who lives in Yellowknife wrote us a wonderful testimonial about her experience with Lauren's product and quoted "As someone who NEVER wore make up prior to this product, I would now never leave home without it. Love, love, love it!!!" And we asked her permission to post this on our site - http://www.interwood.com/.

And then a month later, we received a 2nd glowing testimonial from another happy customer - also living in Yellowknife - telling us she had read her sister email, was very pleased to see that our testimonials were real and that her other sister and her mother also wear Lauren Hutton makeup and "love it".

What enthusiasm for the product and thanks very much to them for taking the time to tell us about it and sharing their experiences! Who would have guessed that there would be so many happy customers in Yellowknife?

Congratulations to Premier Gordon Campbell and Carol Taylor, Finance Minister

An amazing event happened yesterday in Victoria, BC. The British Columbia Provincial Government became the first North American State or Province to introduce a carbon tax effective July 1st this year. And it's neatly packaged such that the extra tax that we'll all pay when buying gasoline will be refunded through lowering of other provincial taxes. It appears to be "tax revenue neutral". and if so, is a major step towards changing our behavior and taxing us as we pollute!

What isn't clearly understood is that each gallon of gasoline that our cars consumes (each gallon weighs 6 pounds) combines with the amosphere to produce 19 pounds of carbon emissions or greenhouse gases as some of us! For us, each litre produces 5 pounds! What I don't know and would love to someone to show me is what these 19 pounds of greenhouse gases look like! Then it would make more sense to all of us. A picture is truly worth a 1,000 words!

This really now sets the stardard for the rest of us! Well done!

Day After Family Day

For those of us that live in Ontario, Canada, I hope you all had an enjoyable Family Day! In my case, I snuck into the office to do some thinking. Our business is in the midst of change - as are many others - and it's a intriguing challenge to be part of that change and understand what role Interwood will play!

It's all centered around The New Screen as it's been called and is truly changing the way we live. It enables all of us to talk - virtually free - to each other, find new freinds, share interests, learn about almost anything - what an opportunity!

Interwood has been in existence since 1974, seen many changes but this is by far the most profound! As we continue to try to find our way in the New World, this blog will serve of a way for me to share our experience with you! I hope you enjoy it
